Please note, that for studying at NORDAKADEMIE, a C1 level in German is required. The application process and further enrollment will therefore be in German.

The prerequisite for admission to the Master's program "Financial Management & Accounting" at NORDAKADEMIE is a recognized degree from a German or foreign university. In addition, you are required to have knowledge and skills in the following core areas: 

• Financial accounting or bookkeeping
• Annual financial statements and balance sheets
• Cost and performance accounting or controlling
• Investment and financing

A total of 300 credits are required for the master's degree, including doctoral eligibility. Since the master's program comprises only 90 credits, applicants with fewer than 210 credits from their first degree must make up the missing credits before graduating with a master's degree. In this case, admission is granted on the condition that the missing credits are made up before graduation from the master's program.

Also a C1 level in German is required to study at NORDAKADEMIE.

Since the Master's programs at NORDAKADEMIE comprise a total of 90 credits, if you have a Bachelor's degree with 180 credits, you still have to make up 30 credits by the time you graduate. You can do so before, during or after the standard period of study in the Master.

You can acquire missing credit points at the NORDAKADEMIE through

• up to two term papers with 10 credit points each
• successful completion of continuing education modules of 5 credit points each
• successful completion of a certificate course for 30 credits each

Term papers

Topics for which you already have prior knowledge, e.g. from professional practice or from continuing education modules, are suitable. You can begin with a term paper even before the start of the actual Master's program. 

Important: Prerequisite is admission to the Master's program and payment of the first tuition fee.
